Deputy Prime Minister Wissanu Krea-ngam said on Thursday that concerned parties must study the court verdict in the malfeasance case against former premier Yingluck Shinawatra yesterday before proceeding with asset seizures under the administrative order issued months earlier.

Wissanu said the court verdict was for a criminal charge against her, and should have nothing to do with the asset seizure.

At this point, the Legal Execution Department’s actions have been limited only to freezing Yingluck’s accounts.

The department had been waiting to see whether the Administrative Court would rule against the order as petitioned by Yingluck, said Wissanu.
